It’s almost to the point where we could post one of these Heat fast break highlights following every single one of their games, and maybe it feels like we actually do. But the combination of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade getting out in transition continues to be deadly for Miami opponents in a way that seems not only elite, but historic in its overall athleticism and effectiveness.

This one from Saturday night’s win over the Magic started with Mario Chalmers hitting the deck to come up with the loose ball, and then tossing it over his head from a seated position to an already streaking James. He then managed a simple touch pass to Wade from there, who finished it off with a pedestrian slam.

I’m a Heat fan and I’m pretty sure the original comment was intended to be a joke.

What Chalmers is is a legitimate starting point guard, and his numbers would be better if he was on a worse team that needed him to do more. MAYBE there are 20-30 who would put up similar numbers in a Miami uniform, but I doubt many of them would be as good a fit in the Heat system. He’s a solid combo guard with a propensity to come up with 2-3 huge offensive performances each playoff run, and that’s all you can ask from any role player. He’s also in the top 10 in steals, and a pesky defender as well.

Chalmers will string together almost a full season worth of garbage plays where I feel like the heat have to get rid of him…. Then he will have a clutch ass performance in a big game and makes me forget all about it…. (This was not one of those games fyi)
